NO ONE should have any special privilages that would allow them to exert such a large amount of power over the group. If the chapter as a whole reaches an agreement, to which a majority of the chapter (whether 50% or 2/3 or whatever) has voted in the affirmative for, then there is no reason whatsoever that could ever be created where the President should have to veto a chapter decision. There is absolutely no reason to include such a provision. Such powers just totally circumvents the process of having a chapter meeting.

I think that an opposite statement should be made in your constitution: one saying that all initiated members are equal, and that only as a matter of social economy and efficiency are there chapter officers, and these positions are open to all initiated members who have the desire to take on the challenges of them.
Definately agree with Betarulz! That kind of special privilage would just cause MAJOR problems down the line.

Plus, what's the use of voting on something if the President might just veto it anyway?

The chapter should be allowed to make decisions for the good of the chapter.. not just one person.
